    Choose the Right Location
    American Sentry Linden thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Adequate watering is important, especially during dry periods. Pruning is minimal and mainly for shaping purposes. This linden variety features a dense, pyramidal form with heart-shaped, glossy green leaves and fragrant, yellow flowers that bloom in late spring. It's an excellent shade tree choice, providing cooling shade in the summer months and attracting pollinators with its blossoms.

Watering

Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring even moisture without overwatering. Most plants prefer deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root growth. Avoid waterlogged soil by using well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes.

Soil

Choose a well-draining soil that suits your plant’s needs, ensuring it provides proper nutrients and aeration. For most plants, a high-quality triple mix—blending topsoil, compost, and peat or loam—offers a balanced foundation. Avoid heavy, compacted soils that retain excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilizer

Feed with a balanced fertilizer as needed, following label instructions, or contact our team for guidance.

Pruning

Prune regularly to remove dead or damaged growth, maintain shape, and promote healthy, vigorous new growth. Use clean, sharp tools and trim just above a node or bud for best results.
